Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Test

I teach creative individuals who are attempting to become working artists. I have found tests based around skill tasks to be the best method of assessing understand of the core techniques they will need to use every day on the job.

Redirecting questions

I love using this technique in class, keeps students engaged, on their toes, and away from Facebook.

Learning Styles

What a revelation! Used information about Kinesthetic learning to help a student understand a concept in class. The topic was how to move objects in a 3D space. One student was having a difficult time comprehending the lecture, but when I used some cubic blocks to demonstrate, and invited him to play with them, he finally got it. Very cool stuff. Thanks for the information.

first class

To ensure the instructor and students learn each others expectations I ask students to write me a note sharing about themselves and what they expect from the course. The success is proven in the motivation of students and helps me meet all expectations.

planning ideas

As an instructor what models do you use that help you prepare and plan?

providing resources to students

As an instructor I strive to provide resources that are high tech and high touch to students. High tech meaning sharing the latest and best websites and internet resources.High touch meaning the best places to network to find the perfect job after graduation. Please share any resources that have helped you or your students.

The Importance of the First Day Impression

The tone for the entire course gets set from the first impression an instructor makes in the classroom. If the levels of professionalism, concern for the students, passion for the material, and a comfortable learning environment aren't obvious to the students, then it will take considerable effort to establish or re-build those later.
